Description
Written for college leaders at all levels as well as for trustees, this book engages the reader, via narrative and analysis, with the reflective and practical knowledge essential to a constructive legacy. Leaders of colleges and universities hold in trust an enterprise of complex mission, governance, and outcome. Most will take office with accompanying media celebration of their past records and future promise. Each will exit with a legacy. A few will leave behind tragic legacies of defeated spirits, corrupted organizations, and shameful ethical records. We may hope for collegiate leaders who will leave behind faculty and staff talents of greater promise, worthy goals achieved in concert with faculty and staff, and value cultures that inspire curiosity, courage, and compassion.
Reviews:
-
Bogue (Univ. of Tennessee) gleans meaningful insights about the culture of effective leadership from the personal stories of college leaders as well as his own personal experiences. The book consists of 12 chapters that explain by illustrations and examples how the "stewards of collegiate mission"--college leaders at all levels including trustees-- can and should function. He also discusses pitfalls to be avoided as college leaders try to construct an ethical legacy. The book is written in an engaging style that explains how ideas and values inform one another. The book ends with an afterword that deals with reflections on what skills and values are necessary for a leader and how the culture of leadership should be implemented. This insightful work will help people who are current leaders, and those who will become leaders, to more effectively become "stewards of collegiate mission." Recommended. Graduate, research, and professional collections.
